After holding three public hearings, Webb County Commissioners Court on Monday voted to levy property taxes at the same rate as last year, $0.4147 per $100 property valuation.

The county has maintained this rate since 2015, according to Webb County Budget Officer Lalo Uribe. They lowered the rate that year from $0.420055 per $100 property valuation due to a large property valuation increase, Uribe said.

Although the rate will stay flat, most residents will be paying more in taxes anyway because property values have increased.

Webb County Tax Assessor Collector Patricia Barrera said that the county will be collecting $78,259,758 in ad valorem taxes next year, a $7,885,566 increase from 2017. The increase comes from the higher property values and new land use, Barrera said.

Continuing on this theme, Laredo City Council held its first public hearing on Monday regarding the city's proposed property tax rate for fiscal year 2018, which begins Oct. 1.

The city proposes the rate stay at $0.491887 per $100 property valuation. This is the same rate the city has adopted for the past 13 years.

The city will be collecting $83,981,743 in property taxes next fiscal year, an increase of $4,996,526 from what will be collected in 2017, according to the city's Tax Assessor/Collector Dora Maldonado.

No citizens spoke at City Council's public hearing or at any of Commissioners Court's.

Laredo Community College adopted a property tax rate of $0.338051 per $100 property valuation for 2018, a decrease from the previous rate of $0.343.

Laredo ISD's rate also decreased. This year it is $1.3697. Last year it was $1.3897.

United ISD's property tax rate was the only one to go up in 2018, from $1.224860 to $1.270313.
